So fired up to launch my re-imagined podcast, Y-Option! Hope you come along for the ride as we explore college football through the lens of the West Coast.

Iowa punched first. USC responded. 1 blitz changed the game in the rain at the Coliseum as @uscfb met the Moment against a Big Ten blue blood. My thoughts on that game & leadership in college football. https://t.co/VZ4xmff9Zv @yoptionfb @RhettNFL @colincowherd @B1Gfootball

Most judge coaches on their win/loss record. True coaching is measured by the lives that are changed. Coach Beam changed thousands of lives and generations. Love you my brother forever!

H2P!

“They’re not right until you say they’re right.” Gary Danielson always believed in himself — even when others didn’t. From coaches who questioned his potential to scouts who told him he’d never make the NFL, he kept pushing. When the doors didn’t open, he learned to knock them

Make the team. Gary Danielson shares a story about riding with Detroit Lions teammates Chris Spielman and Rob Rubick — each preparing for training camp with completely different realities. Spielman focused on perfecting his reads, while Rubick simply said, “I’m going to work on

Ah, thanks! We are competing to create content at @yoptionfb that is insightful/thoughtful around CFB and leadership. Come join us! https://t.co/hEXEdLJP2v :)

Gary’s take on momentum. Gary Danielson dives into why he doesn’t believe in momentum — because the game isn’t about emotion or streaks, it’s about execution. Momentum can give a false sense of control, but the truth is simple: every play resets. The best teams don’t ride waves,

Watching @IndianaFootball on tape confirms how talented this team is. A phenomenal story and an elite team. Both can be true. cc: @RhettNFL @IndianaOnBTN

The dominant play of Jeremiah Smith reminds me of @LarryFitzgerald when he was dominating at @Pitt_FB. IMO he should be in the Heisman conversation.

Consistency through adversity. Guy Haberman dives into teams that play the right way — the ones fueled by purpose, not just the scoreboard. Everyone’s “why” is different, but the ones who stay consistent through adversity always have something deeper driving them. 📺 Click the

With all of the college football openings are AD's hiring CEO's or experts at X's & O's? How many can do both at an elite level? What do you think? My latest column at @yoptionfb dives into that. https://t.co/VyzxpCqPUz

#H2P!!

Thursday night, I watched the Raiders lose a heartbreaker. Saturday night, @BadgerFootball snapped a 6-game skid in the snow. Somewhere between those two games, I started wondering--When you start losing, does the head coach change everything or double down on their

If all you’ve done for most of your life is win… what happens when you lose? I spent a snowy night in Madison thinking about that — and what I'd be asking potential head coaches in interviews. The latest from @yoptionfb -

What a night in Madison📍🏈❄️💫. UW v UW & @BadgerFootball found a way. Full recap coming to @yoptionfb Sunday AM.

The path of @samhuard11 has not been linear but watching him swing the Trojan sword post game will put a smile on every QB's face. Such an amazing young man and if you're a young QB seeking a role model add Sam to your list. 💫🏈 cc @uscfb @yoptionfb @Elite11
